"Excuse me miss? Has a hay-wagon passed through this town?" asked Kenshin as he stood in the road.
"Hm....now that I think about it, yes. They passed by maybe, hm....I would say at least 7 or 8 hours ago." said the woman as she stared up at the sky, smiled, the looked at Kenshin. Then she went back to her shopping in the market that was a few yards ahead of them.
Kenshin called thank-you after her and went on his way. But he felt uncomfortable walking through the town. People would stare and whisper behind their hands. He would often catch phrases of what they said, some were' he has a sword........' or 'look at the scar....he's the manslayer....' but what got him the most is when he heard. 'Look at the poor man, loks like he hasn't eaten in days.'...... And it was true.
Sure he had a few apples that he picked, but still........
From a everyday person's point of view, they would say he was scary. He looked scrawny, tired, and hungry. But his eyes, they were lit with gold fire, dancing around in his purple orbs. And that is what frightened the people the most.
But Kenshin did not care. In fact he didn't care about anything, except Kaoru, Ayame, Suzume, and their safety. He just didn't care about anything except that.
His eyes began to turn gold as he thought of what might happen to the three girls. If anything did happen, the men would pay with their lives. And with that Kenshin, regardless of him being tired, began to run down the road.
